Can you imagine looking at pictures of men dressed - or not dressed like that? Of course not. Gross. So why it's OK for women is beyond me. Also, tangent, it bugs me when women/girls are encouraged to be modest/feminine/etc. so that guys will like them/respect them/get their minds out of the gutter. Now I'm all for respect & guys being nice & not thinking dirty thoughts, but I hate when what GUYS think about girls is the reason we tell girls to act/dress a certain way. Guess what girls, it's about YOU. Nabbing a nice guy is definitely a perk, but how you portray yourself should be about how you feel about yourself, not how you want men to feel about you. How's that for a deep dark feminist streak? We should get together & rant about the world we live in sometime. (Maybe on your way to AZ????) & thanks for slipping in that bit about your butt workout (excuse me, bum workout). I thought this blog was safe, but no, it's just another I worked out more than you today. (Big wink, lol, etc.) Love you!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445503949089734883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087509985980178741.post-71374269972369711482012-02-02T10:26:31.759-08:002012-02-02T10:26:31.759-08:00Although I understand where you are going with thi...Although I understand where you are going with this I'm sad if you aren't going to Pin. It has so much inspiration. As with everything in life there is good and evil. It's about filtering and having the foundation to not let things get to us. If we worry about the pins of others that aren't to our standards then we miss the beauty and purpose of all the things good. When you have an account then you follow only those you choose and that has been a huge filter for my boards since my friends and those I follow that pin are to my standards. There will be an occasional pin that I wouldn't pin myself but everyone is at their own progression in life and I just move on and don't worry it. Love & miss ya girl ;)Priceless Heritagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818638752205708973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087509985980178741.post-12804903588463370912012-02-01T18:25:46.936-08:002012-02-01T18:25:46.936-08:00PS I had to "unfollow" certain boards of...PS I had to "unfollow" certain boards of some of my people.<br /><br />PPS Have you seen the the professional pictures that women have taken of them nursing their kids? (Readers don't freak out I am all nursing, with class.) Ewww - that is not a photo to hang on your living room wall. Why should it be on pinterest?!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711509613575485046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087509985980178741.post-46874437751895123302012-02-01T18:22:44.746-08:002012-02-01T18:22:44.746-08:00Have you heard of Voices For Virtue?

If you want to read a blog that is devoted solely to what this one entry talks about, go to beautyredefined.net. It's made me think a lot about media and its influence on our society on even - or perhaps especially - women of our faith.<br /><br />I wholeheartedly agree with what you're saying, Andrea!Paige of Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03870497312416330470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087509985980178741.post-9550802072284138042012-02-01T18:20:57.013-08:002012-02-01T18:20:57.013-08:00OHHHH MMMYYYY GOOODDNEESSS!!!

If I may add . . .some of the photo's have an inspirational caption that says "be yourself" or "love yourself the way you are" or "Don't do it for anyone but you" (I can't for the life of me think of a good one). So they want us to "be who we are" and "love ourselves the way we are" BUT then post an airbrushed-6-pack-ab-bootalicious-sexy-camouflage-porn-star as the picture. Seriously?! Of course I would love myself if I looked like that! (Well not the porn star look but the 6-pack ab look)<br /><br />Your comment about drawing cloths on girls in the magazines made me laugh! When I was a kiddo my dad drew cloths on the naked people in our encyclopedia!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711509613575485046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087509985980178741.post-26397095387267289352012-02-01T08:57:55.046-08:002012-02-01T08:57:55.046-08:00I totally understand where you're coming from....I totally understand where you're coming from. I HATE that women are soooo easily exploited for the shock value, and shame on the women who buy into the illusion that a naked woman means "liberation" and "art". Blergh. Liberation?? quit facebook. That is sooo liberating. :)<br /><br /> Thanks for posting and bringing this to light.

I can't believe how many women our same religion post an article from the Prophet and then their very next post is about joining some stupid diet trend and the pictures they posted are of half naked woman saying we could look like this if we join.

How can we raise sons to look at women as people and not objects, and daughters to not be obsessed, depressed, and wanting completely unrealistic things if we are allowing ourselves to embrace those? I don't get it but I suspect the same ppl who were behind making "cuz" in the 90s acceptable for because and r and u acceptable these days. Don't they stand for anything?Mardee Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668528597701867290noreply@blogger.com
